Various awareness campaigns on a variety of cancers run throughout the year, with some taking precedence over others. There s Pinktober for breast cancer and Movember for prostate cancer and men’s health, yet, considering the region and climate we live in, skin cancer does not get talked about as much as it should, especially since melanoma is in the top five of the most fatal cancers.
According to American Cancer Society
Journals, which charts cancer rates across 185 countries, in 2020 more than a
million people were diagnosed with non-melanoma cancer, contributing to nearly 64,000 deaths. And almost 325,000 diagnoses of melanoma cancer were found, with 57,000 cases proving fatal.
